X-Men Party Ideas

Your little mutant and his friends will love our X-Men Party Ideas! Read
on for general party planning tips as well as great X-Men-themed
decorating, food, game, and activity suggestions.

X-Men Party Planning & Invitations

In addition to basic Superhero party supplies,
like plates, cups, napkins and decorations, you may want to consider
purchasing, borrowing or renting the following items for your X-Men
party:

Capes and masks or X-Men costumes

X-Men cartoons or movies

X-Men comic books

X-Men video games

Get your guests excited for your child's X-Men party with first class
invitations. Here are some invitation ideas that your child can help you
create.

Cut a round circle out of black paper. Then paste a slightly
smaller red circle on top of the black circle. Finally, place a black X
on top of the red circle in the center. Now that you've made an X-Men
logo, you can write your party details on the back of each one in
metallic ink and then mail to each guest. If you'd like, can make the
invitation read "X Marks the Spot" too!

Make the invitation look like a letter from Professor Xavier.
Here's an example of the party details you can include in the letter
along with some template text:

Your are cordially invited to attend Logan's birthday at Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Children.

X-Men Party Decorating & Food Ideas

X-Men Party Decoration Ideas

Twist together streamers in the same color scheme as the balloons,
and hang them along the walls and doorway(s) in the party area. For a
fun touch, hang long strips of streamers in a row across the main
entryway to the party area, creating a curtain for your guests to pass
through as they come and go.

Find magazines or online photos featuring an X-Men movie, cut out
pictures of the characters, and tape the pictures around the party area.

Place a few X-Men comic books around the party area for guests to
flip through in between activities or as they eat. (These double as
great party favors for everyone to take home later.)

As the children arrive, assign each a mutant name and power. Use
face paint to create mutant features and other designs that represent
each child's powers. (Adults can paint designs on younger children and
older children can paint their own.) For instance, one girl could be
Storm, who has the power to control weather; her face paint design could
include a lightning bolt. Another child could be Wolverine, who has
heightened senses, the ability to heal rapidly, and metal alloy claws
for hand-to-hand combat; his face paint design could include Wolverine's
characteristic brown sideburns, and his fingers could be painted gray
to represent claws.

X-Men Party Food Ideas

In addition to common snack food, you can add some X-Men themed food
into the mix. Here are some suggestions that are based around popular
X-Men characters.

X-Men Burgers: Serve hamburgers open face and draw an X-Men logo with ketchup on top of each patty.

Mutant Pizza: Set up a food station where the
children can make their own pizzas. You can use English muffins or small
balls of dough for the crust and then provide a variety of toppings.

Storm's Salad: Serve tossed salad and label it Storm's Salad.

Wolverine's Claws: Poke three thin pretzel sticks
into the top of a large marshmallow to create a tasty snack that
resembles Wolverine's claws. You can also provide chocolate sauce for
dipping.

Ice Man Ice Cream: Serve a variety of ice cream and toppings and label it Ice Man's Ice Cream on the party table.
